Cleveland Clinic pegs 10 top care innovations for 2019

AI is being used in healthcare for applications such as decision support, image analysis and patient triage. “Today, artificial intelligence is helping physicians make smarter decisions at the point of care, improving the ease and accuracy of viewing patient scans and reducing physician burnout,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. “For instance, machine learning algorithms have the ability to highlight problem areas on images, aiding in the screening process and quickly making sense of the mountains of data within a physician’s EMR system.” Ed Marx, the Cleveland Clinic’s chief information officer, says, “We’ve seen sound results early on with pathology, radiology and dermatology. We call it augmented intelligence, not artificial intelligence, because we will never replace the clinician.”Health Data Management: Feed
